This is a recent accusation by a reporter from the mainstream media named Ray Locker.  But given the mainstream media's track record with strange theories, I, for one, remain skeptical.  His book comes out in October.  [[User:VargasMilan|VargasMilan]] ([[User talk:VargasMilan|talk]]) 00:33, 26 September 2015 (EDT)

:The South Vietnamese people saw the Paris talks as a sell out. Pulling out was hugely popular, a way to sock it to bloodthirsty commies and overbearing Americans at the same time. Rhee had done the same thing to Ike in Korea. I find it hard to believe that a peace treaty was a serious possibility in 1968. The North Vietnamese were not prepared to recognize the legitimacy of Thieu's government until much later. In any case, I assume the war itself would have continued, treaty or no treaty. Johnson was hoping that he could stage a stunt that would help Humphrey win the election. If Nixon sent someone to explain this all to Thieu, I fail to see what the objection might be.
