Did he order the hit?
Not a chance.
Could the hit, and cover-up, have been accomplished without his cooperation?
Not a chance.
Alas, "cooperation" is a vague concept in this and many other instances. "Cooperation" that was active? Passive? Intentional or purely circumstantial?

Clearly.
Alas, "driven" is a vague concept in this and many other instances. "Driven" as in the prime factor motivating the decision to kill?
Clearly not.
Ask yourself: If LBJ had not been scandalously vulnerable, would the hit never have been ordered?
Myra Bronstein Wrote:Did he reverse President Kennedy's Vietnam policy within days of the assassination?
Oh hell yeah.
How the hell does this fact -- and we're in agreement that the reversal did indeed take place -- incriminate LBJ as a prime mover or planner or pre-event facilitator?
Oswald, Castro, gusanos, the Right Wing, Big Oil, Big Business, CIA, LCN, Nazis, racists, J. Edgar Hoover, homosexual thrill-seekers, nearsighted deer hunters, the Three Stooges, the Three Musketeers (now we're on to something!) ... and one more ... oh yeah ... Lyndon Baines Johnson.
False sponsors one and all.
True facilitators?
Let's keep in mind that in order to assign roles in the conspiracy that took JFK's life, we first must develop a cogent hypothesis for the conspiracy's structure.
Absent this essential critical tool, we cannot hope to identify, let alone understand, this brilliant drama, its main and secondary characters, its theme and subtexts, and its author(s)' deeper motivations.
