Papandreou in DC after Berlin, Paris

In DC on Monday: 
The head of the International Monetary Fund believes Greece will resolve its debt crisis without an IMF bailout, and today dismissed fears that other European nations will be engulfed by the crisis. "The eurozone wants to deal with the problem itself, and I can understand that," Dominique Strauss-Kahn said. "I think they can do it … and we're just here to help."

In Paris on Sunday: 
At a joint press conference in Paris, Sarkozy expressed his unequivocal solidarity with Greece, saying that his finance minister, Christine Lagarde, had already drawn up legislation to help the European Union's most indebted member extricate itself from its worst fiscal crisis in decades.
"Should Greece need financial help, the eurozone will stand by it," the French president said. "That's what partners are for."
