Several times. Testimony in the 9/11 commission. I have the book and it is now online if you want to read it. Makes you wonder what Berger was trying to hide when he took the notes from the archives...

Mr. Clarke also said that after the August 1998 bombings of U.S. embassies in East Africa, he urged the Clinton administration to conduct "a series of rolling attacks against the infrastructure in Afghanistan."
The attack plan was rejected by the Clinton administration, according to earlier testimony yesterday by Samuel R. Berger, Mr. Clinton's national security adviser.

In his meeting with Tenet, Berger focused most, however, on the question of what was to be done with Bin Ladin if he were actually captured. He worried that the hard evidence against Bin Ladin was still skimpy and that there was a danger of snatching him and bringing him to the United States only to see him acquitted

"Should we pre-empt by attacking UBL facilities?" Clarke urged Berger to ask his colleagues. 182 in his handwritten notes on the meeting paper, Berger jotted down the presence of 7 to 11 families in the Tarnak Farms facility, which could mean 60­56 casualties. Berger noted the possible slight impact" on Bin Ladin and added,"if he responds, we're blamed."

Berger wimps out again.

Anyone can see Clarke was actually trying to do something and Berger kept finding excuses to do nothing.
