i'm joined now by david frum, contributor editor for the daily beast and hilary rosen, who is also a ommentator. good to see both of you. david, you recently wrote an article for cnn.com where you said those who support taking military action in syria need to ask these four questions. what will it accomplish? what comes next? what will it cost and is there another way? and those are some of the questions we're hearing from lawmakers -- >> the answers we've heard have been not very reassuring or convincing. the administration does not seem to have a strategic plan. it is engaged in a symbolic demonstration. they hope this will weaken the syrian government. but they're not sure they like the obvious and most likely alternatives to the syrian government any better than they like the syrian government. so there's a lack of thought. and there's now we see a real lack of thought to the president's political strategy, that he's gone to congress and he's now heading toward a dynamic where at least one house of congress, maybe both, are very likely to tell him no. which turns a foreign policy

encounter a real-life example of this from the mouth of republican speechwriter and journalist david frum, who said the following -- >> it is about to have a very likely devastating impact on american employment. we can already see the rise of part-time labor and the fallaway of -- >> well, we don't know that. >> we do see that, because if your workers work less than 30 hours, you're exempted, and we have seen, that's where the growth in the labor market is. >> i should be clear, this is not just a david frum thing. this is a huge, consistent, anti-obama care talking point. >> companies are increasingly blaming the health reform law for the rise in part-time work. >> they're moving towards far more part-time work, that is less than 30 hours a week. >> president obama never sold the affordable care act to the american people by saying, look, this is going to create more part-time jobs in the place of full-time jobs, and yet, that's one of the big consequences of the bill. >> and i should be clear, this is also not just coming from the right. this notion that obama care is killing full-time

>>> joining me now, david frum, a ana navarro, stephy cutter and van jones. coming up. let's talk about public support for this. is there anything this president can say on tuesday night that is going to move this mountain? >> the president has already put himself into a desperately bad situation. he said this is a free vote for you. your constituents don't want you to go to war. but there's a part of you that wants to do something about chemical weapons. i'm telling you that if you can vote no and i may still do it any way. so the line of least resistance for the careerist and unheroic member of congress and there are some of those is to vote no and hope the president goes ahead any way. >> we have seen this president give good speeches when he's on. he hasn't been on. all he's done so far is tell us everything this is not but not tell us why we're doing this and what we're doing and how we're affecting the world. i think the president he's got is the timing is a killer here. there is already 100 plus announced no votes in congress. i think that even if he l
