What I said is that he had six years to bring the war to a close and failed to do so until Congress cut off funding.

When he ran for office in 1968 he promised "peace with  honor" and that "new leadership will end the war", hinting of a secret plan to do so.

Nixon reportedly offered Michigan Congressman Donald Riegle an assurance that the war would be over within six months of his assumption of office.

According to Wikipedia, as this six month deadline approached, in May 1969, Henry Kissinger asked a group of Quakers to give the administration six more months. "Give us six months, and if we haven't ended the war by then, you can come back and tear down the White House fence."
