Definitely "Errand of Mercy".  Kirk knew there was "war"
before he and Spock beamed down to Organia.  He had
also expected it, and I think this shows in the way he
said the line.

If I recall correctly, in "Balance of Terror" (one of the 
best, by the way), the Romulans launched a sneak attack, and
Kirk debated whether or not to enter the Neutral Zone--such
an act would be tantamount to a declaration of war.  Thus the
attack itself would not have caused him to utter "So it's war".
