Former
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton reiterated on Wednesday that the
2012 attack in Benghazi, Libya was her "biggest regret" as head of the
State Department, again addressing what could be one of the toughest
questions she'll face if she runs for president.
"It
was very, very painful and it was certainly the biggest regret I had as
secretary of state," she said of the attack that took the lives of four
Americans. "They weren’t the only people we lost but we lost them in
such a terrible, senseless, terrorist action that it is just deeply
sorrowful and went on for hours."
Clinton first called the
attacks her biggest regret as Secretary of State back in January, which
overshadowed her final days in the Obama administration. Republicans
have accused the Obama administration of misleading the public about the
motives behind the attack while President Barack Obama was campaigning
for re-election.
Clinton
supporters say conservatives are using the attack for political purposes
to knock the potential Democratic presidential candidate.
The
former first lady's remarks came during a speech at the Simmons
Leadership Conference in Boston, Mass., where she encouraged women to
"dare to compete."
“I think there
are times in all of our lives when we are either given an opportunity
or we see one that we can seize and we get nervous, we worry, we are not
ready to dare anything,” she said. “But I hope you will and more than
that I hope you will join me in committing the next generation of women
leaders to dare to compete.”
