Mr Khomeni from Paris

Speaking on Fox and Friends Tuesday, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., said he would “probably fire some aides” if he were in President Obama’s shoes.

McCain was referring to a leak about a conversation Obama had with French President Nicolas Sarkozy at last week’s G-20 summit about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, although Reuters reports that it was journalists, not aides who repeated the quotes.

Sarkozy reportedly said “I cannot bear Netanyahu ... he’s a liar.”

“You’re fed up with him, but I have to deal with him even more often than you,” Obama replied.

McCain said the conversation is indicative of the administration’s policy towards Israel, often criticized by Republicans for its lukewarm sentiment.

Khomeini had refused to return to Iran until the Shah left. On 17 January 1979, the Shah did leave the country (ostensibly "on vacation"), never to return. Two weeks later, on Thursday, 1 February 1979, Khomeini returned in triumph to Iran, welcomed by a joyous crowd of up to five million people,[72] estimated in at least six million by ABC News reporter Peter Jennings, who was reporting the event from Tehran.[citation needed]
On the Air France flight on his way to Iran, Khomeini was asked by Jennings: "What do you feel in returning to Iran?" Khomeini answered in a cynical tone: "Hichi!" (Nothing!).[73]
