At today's White House press conference, White House spokesman Tony Snow said that the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah is not a war -- after saying it was.

DAVID GREGORY: I don't think that you really answered the part about "Why is this not our war? Why is it just Israel's?"

TONY SNOW: Why would it be our war? I mean, it's not on our territory. This is a war in which the United States... It's not even a war. What you have at this point is hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah. I would not characterize it as a war.
