Her name came up way back in 2001 too. From the FR archives.

Terrorists had a friend in Clinton White House called Robin

What exactly does it take to be an ‘expert’ in ANYTHING in today’s world.
In some cases (it appears) all one has to do is say they are one.

Whenever I see _________ expert I am reminded of G Castanza saying to J Seinfeld:

He is a Civil War Buff.
I always wanted to be a Civil War Buff.
What does it take for one to be called a Civil War Buff?

Of course we need people like George around to solve the MAJOR PROBLEMS while the rest of us tackle the little things.

The State Department is inundated with appeasers and traitors to this country. Just look at who apparently called the shots on Benghazi.

And how State can make the calls on military actions overseas has gotten entirely out of hand. They need to be reined in.

A Clinton appointee with uncomfortably close interest in the well being of the Taliban; worked under [the noe deceased] Holbrooke and was later brought back after retiring by Obama, no doubr to coddle the Taliban some more...
Her former husband was a US diplomat who was killed on the same flight that went down with a Pakistani president on board- the very same one who was responsible for initiating Aadeer Khan’s international “axis of evil” nuclear proliferation network

She was also involved with Equatorial Guinea and the Indians despised her for what they saw as her encouragement of islamists in Kashmir

[snip] ...She was also considered close to a US-based Kashmiri leader Syed Ghulam Mohammad Fai who was arrested by the FBI in July 2011 for concealing the transfer of $3.5 million from Pakistan to fund his lobbying efforts and influence the US government on the Kashmir conflict. In March 2012, Fai was sentenced to two years imprisonment by a US court for conspiracy to defraud the US by concealing the transfer of funding from a Pakistani intelligence agency for his illegal lobbying efforts on Jammu & Kashmir.

Pakistani establishment circles also point out the pertinent fact that Robin Raphel also used to maintain close ties with the chief of the Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front Yasin Malik. Besides, she was also considered close to the most prominent face of the Hurriyat Conference, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq.

Before being appointed the US Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asia by President Bill Clinton, Raphel was serving in the US Embassy in New Delhi. It is a well known fact that in 2005, Raphel accompanied then US Deputy Chief of Mission in Delhi for a meeting with the Indian government and tried to persuade the then Indian government to talk to Mirwaiz Umar Farooq.

This is interesting : (snip) In 1997, U.S. State Department's Robin Raphel suggested to [Afghan "Northern Alliance" leader] Massoud he should surrender to the Taliban. He soundly rejected the proposal.

At one point in the war, in 1997, two top foreign policy officials in the Clinton administration flew to northern Afghanistan in an attempt to convince Massoud not to take advantage of a strategic opportunity to make crucial gains against the Taliban.[88]

In 1998, a US Defense Intelligence Agency analyst, Julie Sirrs, visited Massoud's territories privately, having previously been denied official permission to do so by her agency. She reported that Massoud had conveyed warnings about strengthened ties between the Taliban and foreign Islamist terrorists. Returning home, she was sacked from her agency for insubordination, because at that time the US administration had no trust in Massoud.[88] -----------http://www.worldheritage.org/articles/Ahmad_Shah_Massoud
