News Reports: Area lawmakers have saved the The 24th National Guard Weapons of Mass Destruction Civil Support Team (WMD-CST) based at Fort Hamilton — not in the news reports, it’s only for a little while

Left unsaid:  The Civil Terror Response Team and many bigger NYC metropolitan area “defense” items will not survive the “sequester” —  if it comes

Unreported in the coverage of the SAVING of a National Guard “Civil Terror Response Team,” formally known as the 24th National Guard Weapons of Mass Destruction Civil Support Team (WMD-CST), based at Fort Hamilton is how long that “saved” status will last ( see “Lawmakers: Save civil terror response team at Fort Hamilton” by Judy Randall, 1/30/13, silive.com/ Staten Island Advance [http://www.silive.com/news/index.ssf/2013/01/lawmakers_save_civil_terror_re.html]; and   “Pols Call for DOD to Retain Terror Response Team in NYC” by Amy Gernon, 1/31/13, LONGISLAND.COM – NATIONAL & WORLD NEWS, LOCAL NEWS [http://www.longisland.com/news/01-31-13/pols-call-for-dod-to-retain-terror-response-team-in-nyc.html] ).

There should be little doubt about any problematic “defense” expenditures like this one —  if the Pentagon wants it gone, it will be gone when and if the “sequester” hits in a few months.
