Greece risks meltdown after bailout vote bombshell

Hmmm, did the Greeks get their tanks from the US? Am I being paranoid, but it struck me that this little lot might just have been arranged earlier, knowing what was at hand. Just a thought!

Greece risks meltdown after bailout vote bombshell

The Greek government faced possible collapse on Tuesday as ruling party lawmakers demanded Prime Minister George Papandreou resign for throwing the nation's euro membership into jeopardy with a shock call for a referendum.

Caught unawares by his high-risk gamble, the leaders of France and Germany summoned Papandreou to crisis talks in Cannes on Wednesday to push for a quick implementation of Greece's new bailout deal ahead of a summit of the G20 major world economies.
