Here is what officials are really saying after Greek talks broke down
Dijsselbloem: "There is flexibility in current bailout program, but targets can't be disregarded"
Translation: We'll give you a bit more time, that's it
Lagarde: "If IMF review establishes criteria not met, there will be no disbursement"
Translation: The truth is, the IMF has a long record of moving its own goalposts and writing the cheque.
Dijsselbloem: "Any new program for Greece would not look much different than the current one"
Translation: We're not really negotiating; they're the ones who need the bailout
Dijsselbloem: Next step has to come from Greece, decision must be made by Friday
Translation: My way or the highway (but everyone knows it's all talk and that deadlines are guidelines)
Greek official: Calls EU proposals 'absurd' and 'unacceptable'
Translation: Just give us one little thing so we can declare victory and get reelected
