McCain's Shifting Reasons For Supporting DADT

In 2006, Senator John McCain gave this answer when asked about the military's Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy:

We have to have the most effective and professional military that we can possibly obtain. I listen to people like General Colin Powell, Former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and literally every military leader that I know. Link

But now that Powell and most of the other top military leaders support repealing DADT, McCain is on board with it right? Nope. Still a sore loser who will not support anything the President wants, even if it has the backing of the military.
