table, johnson was already there. it was the north vietnamese who did not want to talk. but after tet they agreed to talk because after tet they really had nothing left. they were militarily weakened, and they were in danger of the u.s. escalating and attacking them. so they agreed to talk to try to forestall that. but johnson wasn't going to escalate anyway. general wheeler, the chairman of the joint chiefs, had suggested this. general westmoreland had called for more troops. a debate broke out in the administration, should we, shouldn't we? it went on for a long time. if we do escalate, how many troops? do we go over our troop cap? basically, for two months they argued it to death and, ultimately, johnson -- after news of this debate leaked to "the new york times," their great headlines about, you know, a secret escalation in the works, you know, this kind of thing, and johnson just said to heck with it. we'll just call for more peace talks. and this time they had them. so it wasn't that tet demoralized the united s
