Here is the complete video and transcript from the interview. People can make up their own mind.

Palin Speaks Out on the U.S.-Backed Mission in Libya, Israel, Bill Maher ... and Being 'Tempted' to Run in 2012

However, here is the relevant excerpt...

GRETA VAN SUSTEREN: What would you say or what would you like to see as the mission, the mission statement, so that we can work, you know, from there? What should we be doing?

SARAH PALIN: Well, Qaddafi has the blood of innocent Americans on his hands. As we understand it, he's sanctioning the killing of so many Americans with the Lockerbie bombing, and he needs to be held accountable for that. So what happened all those years ago, well, now is our opportunity to make sure that he is held accountable.

So what our president said at first, that our mission is to see Qaddafi go, he's got to go, but then we're told by one of his top advisers, the president's top advisers, saying, well, no, really, Qaddafi is probably going to prevail on this. He's probably going to prevail over the opposition. And then our president changes the tune again, saying, well, it's not our mission to oust Qaddafi. A lot of confusion.

I would like to see, of course, as long as we're in it -- we better be in it to win it. And if there's doubt, we get out. Win it means Qaddafi goes and America gets to get on out of there and let the people of Libya create their own government, choose their own leader. And America, no nation building. We get out. We take care of our affairs elsewhere.

She says a lot of things there, but she says absolutely nothing about the direct question she was asked - "What should we do?"

What would President Palin do on Libya, and where can I find that statement?

Palin said that she would fight to win. That’s enough.

Good heavens, what a mess of a statement.
