    Yup, one of the New York State Indian tribes is complaining about the use of the name Geronimo when the military took out Bin Ladin. I think the code word was "Geronimo is dead or taken out or whatever". So now the Indians are on the warpath. What a bunch of losers.

    I pulled this from one of the first internet sites when I typed in Geronimo. It seems pretty similar to Osama so maybe that is why they used the name for their code word. Osama became almost mystical in nature after 9/11, one that wronged the rights of his oppressors by violence, yet was tracked down and killed/captured by the US.

    wikipedia:

    "After an attack by a company of Mexican soldiers killed many members of his family in 1858, Geronimo joined revenge attacks on the Mexicans and later against the United States. He became known for bravery and daring feats and was revered by the Apaches as a warrior with spiritual powers. In 1886 Geronimo was eventually tracked down by U.S. authorities and surrendered."
