Just to be clear, Peter Dale Scott's "phase one" hypothesis is not specific to Cuba alone. What he actually argues is that phase one stories were floated to link Oswald to the idea of an "international Communist conspiracy", thus ensuring that phase two (the "lone nut" scenario) could be implemented without dissent from politicians who might otherwise seek to hold the intelligence community to account.
That being said, it is interesting to consider just howthe rabidly anti-Castro elements who were undoubtedly involved in the assassination were placated after the event, especially when they realised that no invasion of Cuba was to be forthcoming.

“The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of doubt, what is laid before him.â€
