Yeah, it's possible that this is a big effort for them. But I prefer to lend at least some credibility to the article at the head of this thread and come to the conclusion that hand picked dates that have political advantage might not be picked for strategic reasons (except in the case of Art's notion that a single Com-in-Chief throughout 8 years is strategic, which is true).

So since they already targeted a financial institution that must be it then? They couldn't possibly target another? OBL and others have stated that financial centers are a primary foundation for American globalization and the support of Israel.
As stated previously, it takes a long time to plan such things and being three years old means little when you consider the fact that the intelligence used to accomplish the 9/11 attacks had elements at least this old.
No matter how you slice it, they can not stand idly by while a possible attack is imminent.
