The United States continues to make progress in fighting terrorism. The policy and programs of the past 20 years have reduced dramatically the role of state sponsors in directly supporting terrorism. The threat is shifting, and we are responding accordingly. It is our clear policy goal to get all seven countries and 28 FTOs out of the terrorist business completely. We seek to have all state sponsors rejoin the community of nations committed to ending the threat. We must redouble our efforts, however, to 'drain the swamp' in other countries-whether hostile to the United States or not-where terrorists seek to find safe haven for their planning and operations. Terrorism will be with us for the foreseeable future. Some terrorists will continue using the most popular form of terrorism-the truck or car bomb-while others will seek alternative means to deliver their deadly message, including weapons of mass destruction (WMD) or cyber attacks. We must remain vigilant to these new threats, and we are preparing ourselves for them. All terrorists-even a 'cyber terrorist'-must occupy physical space to carry out attacks. The strong political will of states to counter the threat of terrorism remains the crucial variable of our success.
