I see the resident Hamasnik has accepted that Judea and Samaria is the correct name and now goes on to claim another "fact". However in 1990, the US Congress passed a resolution declaring that “Jerusalem is and should remain the capital of the State of Israel” and “must remain an undivided city in which the rights of every ethnic and religious group are protected.” During the 1992 Presidential campaign, Bill Clinton said: “I recognize Jerusalem as an undivided city, the eternal capital of Israel, and I believe in the principle of moving our embassy to Jerusalem.” However like all US Presidents after him all say and no do - the Arabists in the State Department don't want to upset the Arabs don't you see - it's the oil as it has been all along and rights of the Jews come a poor second.
