well, broadly Eastern European, but yes, she isn't a Mideast expert. But who is? Unless he goes and nominates Richard Clarke I don't think there are many people (on either side) who have a lot of diplomatic experience in that region, which is much of the reason why we are where we are.
I'm just thinking she's likely to be named because she has at least some experience whereas I don't think that there are many others that do in the area.
