PARIS (Reuters) - President Francois Hollande pleaded with Germany and other European partners on Thursday to be patient with France and give it more time to reform before it meets deficit targets, admitting that results were coming too slowly.

Hollande told a news conference that Paris would join the United States in air strikes in Iraq to combat Islamic State fighters, who have seized swathes of the country, but said he would not attack the militants in their Syrian stronghold.
