He is proud

"Then he laid down a challenge: “I am so proud to be in the same room with the men who defeated the Soviet Union." Proud? Are you proud to be in the same room with those who were comrades-in-arm with Al-Qa`idah and other Bin Ladenites? Are you proud to be in the same room with the fanatical bigots who have repressed women? Are you proud to be in the same room with the druglords and warlords? Are you proud to be in the same room with the crooks and thieves who use religioun to justify their oppression and obscurantism?
