War of words

Hi, is that correct to understand it as "War of versions"?

"The war of words over Benghazi escalated Wednesday when President Obama told his critics to "go after me" rather than Ambassador Susan Rice. Those critics then said they would do exactly that."

Flowersa Hi, is that correct to understand it as "War of versions"? Well, I don't think that is quite right. A war of words is just an extended angry verbal argument.
