I still have all the raw footage from back then.

I still remember the Iraqis that were in the states to have prosthetics for the hands that Saddam had chopped off attending.

I still remember them throwing coins at those ladies.

I remember hearing about the coins also. I think that it was GottaLuvAkitas1, who persuaded one Iraqi that he better stop throwing coins. A police officer had told the Iraqi that he would be arrested if he kept throwing the coins, but the Iraqi's understanding of English was so limited that it took GottaLuvAkitas1 to get him to stop.

I never did figure out whether the Iraqis were insulting the Missile Chicks as in throwing the coins to say "you're a cheap street walker" or were tossing them money as in "here's a reward for your entertainment," like some in this country give bucks to a street musician or juggler. The language and culture barriers prevented me from understanding what the Iraqi point was with the coin tossing.
