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?
