John McCain actually said...

"I strongly, strongly support the existing position and policy, and that policy has been in place since 1994."

"I have fought it for many years, and I will never give up the fight until the day that I leave the U.S. Senate."

"I believe JPAC is resourced to accomplish their current mission requirements."

"I raise it in the context of an attempt that I think is going on now, led by the President and strongly led also by the Secretary of Defense, that we stop some of this."
