From the graun article: 'He kicks down an awful lot. The fall people are always women, gay people, Iraqis' - Iraqis? I thought the point about that sketch was to satirise the american military playing about with their hi-tech death-dealing technology. He also pointed out the taboo fact that the US supplied Saddam Hussein with a lot of the military equipment he then used on the Kurds, approx: 'How did you know he was using that stuff on them? Er, we checked the receipt.'. Seems like a pretty clear case of 'kicking up' to me! Would need to see evidence of him using women and gay people as the 'fall people'... cheers, I
