Obama: U.S. Requested Iran Return Downed Drone

Description:President Barack Obama on Monday (December 12) said the U.S. government had requested the return of a spy drone downed over Iran but declined to discuss if its loss could compromise U.S. national security. "We have asked for it back. We'll see how the Iranians respond," Obama said during a joint news conference with Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki after the two met at the White House. The meeting comes just weeks before the last American troops are slated to leave the country. (3:33)
