The highlighted parts happened only when all else failed & Uncle Sam called.." reformed convict.."
The change of heart happened for two reasons. One, as mentioned that his guile misfired & two, US ( upon whom his personal survival hinged besides that of Pk) saw thru the deciet he played in Af/ AQ & the region and complelled him to change his spots.
What he says is worth a listen but with a hand ful of salt. No one can deny that what afflicts Pk is self inflicted.
Actually he was under no compulsions to do anything more than a token house arrest of Hafiz Saeed and banning of the LeT (which he did) to get the pressure off him.
The US needed him too much to raise too much of a stink over insurgents in Kashmir, given 80% of its supplies go through Pakistan, and especially after the Iraq invasion. Musharraf could have turned on the insurgent tap anytime and had absolutely no compulsions to offer concessions on Kashmir - yet he did so.
That is why he is indeed credible.
