My 'go to' man would be Kissinger for a recommendation. Again, making good on your promise to bridge the partisan divide, and at least keep a strong defense position in mind before you give away the farm.
True, but I think Obama has common sense. (GWB was a foreign policy neophyte too, and he's been a disaster in foreign policy, IMO. He didn't even know who Pervez Musharraf was.)

As for Kissinger, he was and is, a very overrated man, and his reputation has declined in recent years. (IMO.)

I think Obama will choose sharp people with experience and knowledge in this area.
