I have books packed away written by people who interviewed Theiu who said the same thing--that they knew they could stall their way to a win. It's been so long though that I can't remember who wrote them and the title.

The Vietnamese Communists played out desire for "peace settlement' like a virtuoso violinist wooing his true love. They knew they could wait us out as all they had to do was read American Newspapers to see how the public wanted us out of there.

So despite Nixon's bombing campaign's they didn't give in to peace offers as they knew if were just patient enough all would be well.

Somewhere around here I can probably find Kissinger's Memoirs on the thing.
