Money is indirectly a weapon, in that it can buy weapons and people to use them. This case was debt not just money in general. The debt can indeed be used as a weapon. If China decides to dump the debt the dollar takes a hit. Of course that means that China takes the hit on the sales. In other words it is a weapon but its one that hits you while it hits the target. Its like using a grenade in hand to hand combat (except while damaging its unlikely to actually be fatal)
