The Devil is in the detail - Greek Crisis

Telegraph - Live Blog: Reports  in its 1pm post the following, " It seems the Greeks have given short shrift to a revised set of measures put on the table by the IMF today, after having their latest plan thrown in the bin.   According to Greek media, the Fund put forward plans for deeper pension cuts, double the cuts to defence spending, and less hikes in corporate tax rates.  "

Lets Get Real:

Since the Greeks elected its left wing government the condition of Greece has gone down the toilet, the Greeks should have fresh elections and elect a government that does what it is told by the EU and the IMF.   The Greeks have a choice, either obey or get out of the Euro and even the EU.   The taxpayers of the Euro are not going to put up with paying the bills of the Greek left wing government.   The LEFT wing government does not want to deal with reality, either you take the money from IMF and do as they have stated, or try and going it alone with the help of the Russians, if they have the money to keep Greece going, does Putin want to alliance with a dead donkey that is sucking the last Euro out of the Greek Government. 

Those Greeks, pulling another Trojan Horse - Greek Crisis

Guardian: Reports " Greek bailout deal hangs by thread as Tsipras rails at creditors..Two sides remain deadlocked over compromise that would allow Athens to unlock €8bn in financial aid "

Lets Get Real:

The Greeks have been caught trying to throw sand in the face of the IMF, the Greek plan calls for more tax hikes in Greece, as the article points out the IMF has seen that plan before and it did not bring in as much as expected.     Thus what now, it can be postulated that some of kind will be tabled, it is more of PR stunt, no one wants to cut the cord and allow Greece to leave the Euro, on the other hand the German tax payer does not want to pay the debts of the left wing government in Greece.   This crisis will return in a few months, what tricks will Greece have in its pocket next time. 

Iran and the bomb - Iran Crisis

BBC News: Reports " Iran nuclear talks: Khamenei rejects key US demands  "

Lets Get Real:

The reason for the above is simple, Tehran sees the Obama White House as weak, they know if they push they can get a better deal no matter what the Oval Office says, the Obama Administration needs a deal with Iran as a legacy, no matter if it is flawed and benefits Iran.   President Obama can smell a deal, he wants something that looks good to left wing bloggers and writers.   The US Congress has to be tough, it has to reject any deal that benefits Iran and allow Iran to get the bomb within a few years.   This could be the next big battle on the Hill.
