Discussing the situation in Libya with Fox News`s Greta Van Susteren, foreign policy expert and noted wordsmith Sarah Palin said, `I haven`t heard the president state that we`re at war. That`s why I too am not knowing -- do we use the term intervention? Do we use war? Do we use squirmish? What is it?`
