Time lied. Clinton lied. Berger lied. Clarke lied.
So what else is new?

Additional documentation from the
Washington Times:
"The final policy paper on national security that President Clinton submitted to Congress 45,000 words long makes no mention of al Qaeda and refers to Osama bin Laden by name just four times.
The scarce references to bin Laden and his terror network undercut claims by former White House terrorism analyst Richard A. Clarke that the Clinton administration considered al Qaeda an "urgent" threat, while President Bush's national security adviser, Condoleezza Rice, "ignored" it.
The Clinton document, titled "A National Security Strategy for a Global Age," is dated December 2000 and is the final official assessment of national security policy and strategy by the Clinton team. The document is publicly available, though no U.S. media outlets have examined it in the context of Mr. Clarke's testimony and new book."

Its so obvious Clinton lied...but guess what...the MSM won't cover it...and if you on the left..you won't see it...

As Byron posted on The Corner ... that all depends on what the meaning of the words "Comprehensive" "Anti-terror" and "Strategy" are.

Maybe that "comprehensive anti-terrorism strategy" was buried in the Rose Hill Law Firm billing records

RICHARD CLARKE: There was no plan on al Qaeda that was passed from the Clinton administration to the Bush administration ... In January 2001, the incoming Bush administration was briefed on the existing strategy. [They] decided to ... vigorously pursue the existing policy [and] ... initiate a process to look at those issues which had been on the table for a couple of years.
In their first meeting [the principles] changed the strategy by authorizing the increase in funding [for covert action against al Qaeda] five-fold, changing the policy on Pakistan, changing the policy on Uzbekistan, changing the policy on the Northern Alliance assistance. [They] then changed the strategy from one of rollback with al Qaeda ... to a new strategy that called for the rapid elimination of al Qaeda.

This symbolizes what the Clinton's left for the new administration:
Departing Clinton Staff Trashed White House Like Never Before
"In 2001, the departing Clinton White House staff made quite a mess, according to this GAO report issued today. [PDF file]
When news of this first came out in early 2001, Clinton apologists pointed the finger at previous administration's, saying in effect, "They did it first!" But the truth is that no administration in decades did as much damage as the Clinton team did on its way out the door:
The director of the Office of Administration (OA), who had been present during five previous transitions, said that he was stunned by what he saw during the 2001 transition and had not seen anything similar during previous ones, particularly in terms of the amount of trash. The OA associate director for facilities management said that there was more to clean during the 2001 transition than during previous transitions. The telephone service director, who had worked in the White House complex since 1973, said that he did not recall seeing, in past transitions, the large amount of trash that he had seen during the 2001 transition. Further, an employee who had worked in the White House complex since 1984 said that office space in the complex was messier during the 2001 transition than all of the other transitions he had seen.
Not that pointing the finger is an excuse for one's own sins. The fact is, they did trash the place, and beyond the financial cost of what they did, they sullied their administration by doing it. (Not to mention the real criminal implications of what they did.)"

Correct me if I am wrong but I recall some conversation that Clinton turned over a 4,000 page "turn-over" document to the Bush administration and did not mention OBL at all in that report.

Well if Clinton did have a plan, which I doubt, it got lost in the transisition. And why was that? Because Al Gore had to contest the election results for 6 weeks. There was no transisition.

You're very close. Please see bold text in post 3 above.

Clinton didn't even leave Bush any silverware, much less an anti-terror strategy.
