Code Name For Killing Osama Bin Laden? 'Geronimo'
Tuesday, May 3, 2011 at 4:31PM
Note to our readers ...
If you hear the word "geronimo" -- and there are a bunch of Navy Seals around -- run for your lives.
Our sources tell us that "geronimo" was the code word that the CIA-led Navy Seals team used in the Osama Bin Laden slaying operation.
What did it mean? Kill.
We are also told that as soon as the Navy Seals had done the deed, they reported back, saying, "Geronimo EKIA."
EKIA means "Enemy Killed In Action."
If you ever hear that, and there are a bunch of Navy Seals around ... it means you were not the enemy.

Did you know? ... Geronimo (June 16, 1829 – February 17, 1909) was a prominent Native American leader of the Chiricahua Apache who fought against Mexico and the United States for their expansion into Apache tribal lands for several decades during the Apache Wars.

Trust me, you will NEVER KNOW that you are around a Navy Seal as they are ALWAYS under cover. So if you ever hear the word geronimo a) run and b) Seal Team just blew their cover, lol. Good article and nice footnote.
Also found out an interesting footnote. The work was performed by my ex wife's first husband's seal team. Needless to say that is all the information I can divulge.
