You need to work on reading comprehension. It's clear in the opening lines it was specifically the codename for bin Laden himself, not for the operation or any action taking within the operation.

In an administration obsessed with racism and multicultural sensitivity this was tone deaf stupidity!

Bush would've been criticized, why let Obama off the hook?

When I first heard the story the term Geronimo was the code word to be given when OBL had been taken out. There have been a number of different ways the story has been told since then. I don’t think there is an official version, but the information I first heard was from a reporter who had just finished a telephone briefing from “the most senior administration officials”. Geronimo meant that the mission, the assassination of OBL, had been accomplished. Maybe that reporter got it wrong, but then maybe the reporter who penned this thread got it wrong.
