 for strikes into enemy areas if the enemy aren't that technologically

Keep in mind that the F-117 is a 20+ year old design. I think your right

about it's decreasing utility/survivability against a technologically 
advanced or "aware" opponent in the coming decade or so. I think though,
in 
situations in which you have been able to take down the opponent's C3I 
assets, it still has it's deep-strike role to play though at a
significantly 
higher risk.
