To the Editor:

   If the U.S. continues to focus on the Zardari's empty cape instead of Kayani's sword, our adventure in Afghanistan and Pakistan is going to end with out ears hung on someone's trophy wall.   As head of Pakistan's army, Ashfaq Kayani continues to protect assets inside the Taliban whom he cultivated when when he ran the ISI.  This has always been the axis of real power in Pakistan. While we may continue to cheer for the emergence of democracy, there, Zardari isn't the credible partner we need.
