The military compared Osama to the great Native-American resistance leader Geronimo.

That's just wonderful.

What an insult to Native-Americans and all those who resisted the occupation of their lands in the west.

Geronimo's band was one of the last major forces of independent Native American warriors who refused to acknowledge the United States occupation of the American West. BBI

How did special forces relay the news to commanders that OBL was dead? Code name was "Geronimo"; call came in as "Geronimo is KIA"
