Washington, Oct 16: In an effort to deflate the Republican attack from the White House ahead of presidential elections, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton today took the “responsibility” for the failure to defend the attack on the US Consulate in Libya that left four Americans dead.
 

 
“I take this very personally,” Clinton told the CNN in an interview in Lima, the capital of Peru.  “So we're going to get to the bottom of it, and then we're going to do everything we can to work to prevent it from happening again, and then we're going to work to bring whoever did this to us to justice,” she said.

Clinton was responding to questions on terrorist attack on the Benghazi Consulate last month that left US Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens and three others dead. 

The Obama Administration initially attributed this to an anti-Islam video that resulted in an instant protest. Later, the administration dubbed it as a terrorist attack. 

Last week, Vice President Joe Biden said the White House did not know of requests to enhance security at Benghazi, contradicting testimony by State Department employees that requests had been made and rejected.
“In the wake of an attack like this, in the fog of war, there's always going to be confusion. I think it is absolutely fair to say that everyone had the same intelligence. Everyone who spoke tried to give the information that they had.

As time has gone on, that information has changed. We've gotten more detail, but that's not surprising. That always happens,” Clinton told  CNN.
