IRAN: A US drone was downed over Iranian territory. What is all the flap. It was in their air space. It went down in Iranian territory. We were spying. Stupid us for getting caught and letting the technology fall into Iranian hands. They are not going to give it back. We are not going to go to war over it. Unless we can do something covertly to retrieve or destroy it, the drone is now theirs to clone, sell, whatever. "You pays your money and you takes your chances." End of story.
