White House: "WINEP was lying about 'letter' to Netanyahu!"

Of course, Ross (Makovsky's link and leaker, if leak occured) has not missed a chance to undermine the President, and put a good light on the the Israelis ... President Obama needs to do a lot of firing ... a lot! 
Laura Rosen had it all wrong when she said: "It's plausible to presume that Makovsky's revealing of Obama's written proposal might have been given a nod by elements of the administration in order to publicize the offer Netanyahu has to date turned down -- and thus to encourage him to accept the U.S. offer for a compromise that could allow recently relaunched Israeli-Palestinian peace talks to proceed..."
"...An article published on Wednesday on the website for the Washington Institute for Near East Policy by David Makovsky, a researcher with ties to Dennis Ross, Barack Obama's chief advisor on the Middle East, reported that Obama had written a letter Netanyahu in which Obama offered to support the presence of Israel Defense Forces soldiers in the Jordan Valley even after the establishment of a Palestinian state, if Israel would agree to a two month settlement building freeze.  
Netanyahu was reportedly inclined to reject the offer...."
