Questioning the timing of those questioning the timing

I suppose there is not much we can do about certain folks' cynicism about terror events such as the current one. As soon as I heard about it last night, I wondered how long it would be before someone questioned the timing. (This morning, the first I came across was Josh Marshall.)

But I wonder -- when exactly could something like this happen without the timing being questioned?

July & August: campaigns & primaries

September: 9/11 anniversary

October & November: mid-term campaign & elections

December & January: State of the Union coming up...and into 2007...

And of course, there are the perennials such as the Arab-Israeli conflict, in its myriad forms, Iraq, North Korea, G8, every kind of scandal. Even if we limit ourselves to the Middle East, we could have questioned the timing at any point in the last 2000 years, no?

I guess I have come to question the timing of those questioning the timing...
