Despite Britain\u2019s close alliance with the US, the Obama Administration is determined not to be drawn into the issue. It has also declined to back Britain\u2019s claim that oil exploration near the islands is sanctioned by international law, saying that the dispute is strictly a bilateral issue&#8230;Senior US officials insisted that Washington\u2019s position on the Falklands was one of longstanding neutrality. This is in stark contrast to the public backing and vital intelligence offered by President Reagan to Margaret Thatcher once she had made the decision to recover the islands by force in 1982.  <br \/>\u201cWe are aware not only of the current situation but also of the history, but our position remains one of neutrality,\u201d a State Department spokesman told The Times. \u201cThe US recognises de facto UK administration of the islands but takes no position on the sovereignty claims of either party.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Seriously?!
