WEAPONIZED BEATS
Wrapping the week: U.S. troops reportedly blasted rock music at the insurgents in Falluja to provoke them into a fight. Now that's an idea that Rummy, Wolfie and the boys never thought of: weaponizing American pop culture to win the war in Iraq. What beats do you think the troops used? 2Pac's? Eminem's? 50 Cent's? Snoop Dogg's? Jay-z's? Notorious B.I.G.'s? Ludacris's? Dr. Dre's? Nelly's? Ja Rule's? Was it -- this is just a guess -- "2Pac's Greatest Hits" or 50 Cent's "No Mercy, No Fear"? And will the Pentagon pay royalties?
