The code name “ Geronimo” was used to inform Command that the target “ Bin Laden “ was neutralized, as in DEAD!

Not that Bin Laden was “ Geronimo”. Use of the name Geronimo conveyed success for that phase of the operation!

Then you need to correct just about every news report, regardless of source or political leaning, of the past two days.

Best of luck with that.

Sorry, in the awareness of virtually every American alive at the moment, "Geronimo" in this operation was the codename for Bin Laden. Whether or not that was the original intention, they have become one and the same.

Again, why? Comparing the capture of Geronimo to the justly killing of osama seems historicaly stupid. Maybe it’s just that the military looks at any enemy equally. A good trait to have when it’s them or us.

Try reading the story.

“We’ve ID’d Geronimo,” U.S. forces reported by radio to the White House. Later, word came that “Geronimo” was dead.

"We've (identified) Osama." "Osama" was dead.

Osama = Geronimo.

Don't defend Obama's gaffe.
