The GOP’s push to try to trigger a war with Iran is nothing new. They’ve wanted to attack Iran for decades. Remember — those of you who were around back in the days of George W. Bush?

Check it out. Use it for a starting point and get familiar (or re-familiarize yourself) with the events of the day.

Bigly.
