I really hate these damned revisionists. Of course he wanted to march to Tel Aviv, just as much as Hanoi wanted Tet to massacre Saigon and drive the Americans from Vietnam. It's when they failed and they've got some propaganda victory, then they said this is what they wanted all along. In the meantime, they were completely defenceless against a counter-attack.
No one starts a war expecting to lose and most certainly, no one starts a war to want to leave themselves defenceless.
