::Snopes does ''not'' call it an urban legend.  It debunks claims of an imminent North Vietnamese surrender in 1968 falsely attributed to General Giap, and then notes that the apocryphal quote may be based on the sentiments expressed by Bui Tin in the WSJ.  It implicitly endorses the WSJ interview, although it notes that Bui Tin (according to the article) had expressed "disillusionment with the fruits of Vietnamese Communism," adding that “it’s possible" "his changed outlook" "influenced" the opinions he expressed to the WSJ in the piece.  http://www.snopes.com/quotes/giap.asp
