ECB/IMF announcement of Greek bondholders haircut- what is holding them back?

Greek bond holders have in recent times, become steadily more prepared for for a big haircut in the value of their bonds, what's stopping the ECB/IMF from declaring one?

Pict: Screen grab CNBC 6Sept2011: Greek bond yields [YouTube] (ps: 2Y@ EUR 52.120 means Greek bonds with 2 yrs to maturity, EUR100 in face value are being traded at EUR 52.120 a piece):

The latest prices I'm told are at: Sovereign debt question on 'yields'

Are the leaders of IMF/ECB corrupt? Do they like to personally buy cheap Greek bonds (sovereigns) only to sell them after falsely stimulating the market with some farcical announcement that they might actually be able to give Greece the ultimate bailout, and then soonest turn around saying opps,sorry, problem, we miscalculated, so no bailout funds now, ... we need more time to raise them etc etc before the starting the anti-climatic cycle all over again again, just to milk investors of all their money?

Please lah, in lieu of either the printing of money in their own currency or increased taxation, which country on Earth is going to bail Greece out I ask? Ps: Zimbabwe is out of the running becos even their ZIM $100Trillion currency note is now toilet paper/ at best compost/fertilizer:

A haircut is due, if not now then when? What are they waiting for? The bond holders have since discovered their folly, profligacy costs money and the market shows that they should pay. No one who uses the printing presses so freely and liberally should get scot free, not them nor their followers- the bond holders are waiting to repent, so please hurry.
Growing the GDP to legitimize one's national debt now is just PONZI, I say again- PONZI- a there is a limit to how much U can inflate the economy, land, space and global warming remain limitations you cannot defy. Printing new money is simply theft and a betrayal of the existing holders of one's currency [read Zimbabwe/ Mugabe]. If the government is in for bankruptcy, then let it be now, and the whole world will learn it a lesson against such irresponsible profligacy. There is no need for an encore replay of modern day Greek tragedy.

Don't worry, if Greece suffers bankruptcy they can still seek UN food aid or rely on agrarian economy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agriculture_in_Greece perhaps life in Greece would be better if the Greeks didn't depend on borrowed monies and the other Europeans didn't lend so generously. Castro in Cuba I believe knows something about agrarian economics, Greece might do well learn in that respect although where democracy is concerned, I think the Greeks need no introduction.
