Well, it's one way of executing a U-turn. Greek government reportedly saying it sent the wrong letter on Thursday; willing to offer more.

From Deutsche Börse Group:
FRANKFURT (MNI) - The Greek government accidentally sent the wrong letter
to Brussels on Thursday with the intended version going a step further accepting
conditions agreed to by the previous government, Germany's Bild Zeitung reported
Friday citing government sources.
According to the report, Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras in cooperation
with EU Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker and Eurogroup head Jeroen
Dijsselbloem Wednesday had prepared a letter to secure support of bailout
partners.
However, Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis sent an altered version of
the letter in which - against previous agreements - omitting assurances that
Greece will accept bailout conditions agreed to by the previous government, the
report said.
The paper said that in conversations with Dijsselbloem and German
chancellor Angela Merkel, Tsipras described the letter as an "administrative
mistake."
Maybe it's Greek game theory:
This wrong letter is game theory being played at its highest levels. VERY advanced technique. Most people can't understand it.

Like many of my drunken emails (and comments). I need a sobriety checkpoint on my keyboard after 6:00.

ReplyDeleteHilary Clinton Exposed Part 1 – How She Aggressively Lobbied for Mega Corporations as Secretary of State
That approach, which Mrs. Clinton called “economic statecraft,” emerged in discussions with Robert Hormats, a former Goldman Sachs Group Inc. investment banker who has worked in Democratic and Republican administrations and became an undersecretary of state. “One of the very first items was, how do we strengthen the role of the State Department in economic policy?” he says.
Early in Mrs. Clinton’s tenure, according to Mr. Hormats, Microsoft’s then Chief Research Officer Craig Mundie asked the State Department to send a ranking official to a fourth annual meeting of U.S. software executives and Chinese government officials about piracy and Internet freedom. Mr. Hormats joined the December 2009 meeting in Beijing.
Mr. Hormats says there was no relation between Microsoft’s donations and the State Department’s participation in the China conference.
