Answer 2

He said that they were making progress. Though the Tet Offensive was a military victory, it was political victory for the North Vietnamese. When scenes of the war were broadcasts to the American public, the reaction was so negative that support for the war dwindled. This led to negotiations where the U.S. eventually withdrew from Vietnam allowing the North to conquer the South.
