Does the "Payoff" of Finding & Destroying Our DRONE, outweigh whatever "Cost" or "Reprcussions".?
.
I guess I'm trying to say, that IRAN already is at "War" with us -- If we can Find & Destroy OUR Technology and prevent it from being Ripped-Off by another Super Power --
-- IS IT NOT WORTH IT ??
.
Update:.
"It's just a huge embarrassment for the USA"
I am more worried about Iran sellling the Technology to China, etc.
MOST of the Advanced Technology of the 20th Century that the U.S. ALONE, developed -- was Given Away bey ESPIONAGE, etc.
...and "Yes," I misspelled a werd -- I am NOT perfect ;)
Thanks for your Answer, though :)

Update 3:.
"Because people who design software don't design hardware and neither are end users" !!
I TOTALLY AGREE WITH THE ISSUE OF "SLOPPY" PROGRAMMING
-- IT'S KILLING US, ECONOMICALLY & MILITARILY."

Too late for that Mr. Obama has already shown the world he lacks the spine for that. The moment has already passed. Instead the commander in chief asked pretty please can we have our drone back.
Does "Spelling" matter? Yes.
Since the drone was flying over Iran, it seems pretty useless to get it back. Iran will decode the thing and get nice pretty pictures of its own country- which doesn't hurt us a bit. It's just a huge embarrassment for the USA to be caught spying on another sovereign nation. We know it happens, but it is still a bit like being caught in the bushes outside the neighbor's window. Doesn't look good.
If you mean that the drone should have had a self destruct charge built in, then it certainly should have done. Why didn't it? As to Iran being at war with the US, I would say that they are enemies of Israel, and the US and the West support Israel. Why? If there are any Nazis left in the world they live in Israel. They treat the Arabs like dirt, they even say that they are God's chosen people, and they act surprised when they fight back. America is Israel's pit bull; the US arms and supports Israel no matter what they do. After the US destroyed Irak, Iran is the next most powerful Arab nation and Israel wants it destroyed, so the US will do it for them. American young men will die for no benefit for the US.
The main issue with technology is not the hardware...it is the software. If you don't know that you were suppose to click the box that verifies that yes i wish to disable the "Don't take off" command for the UAV then your UAV won't take off. Why is that command there? Because people who design software don't design hardware and neither are end users...so who cares if they have the hardware, who has the software to fly the damn thing....
Obama made his call. Too late now. They have it & the Technology.
