Ash Carter, a former U.S. defense secretary during Barack Obama's administration, died on Monday evening after a sudden cardiac event at the age of 68, his family said in a statement on Tuesday.
Carter, who served during the final two years of the Obama administration, helped oversee the launch of a military strategy that would drive back the Islamic State military group in Syria and Iraq, and ultimately defeat the organization.
Since leaving public service, Carter led the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs at Harvard's Kennedy School.

Carter struck as weaker and a bigger weasel than even Cohen back in Clintontime.
At least I don't think there is anything in the Bible about accordions in hell. (For that matter, I don't think there is anything about harps in heaven.)
safe and effective
Wonder what he had on Hillary ?
Can anyone Say Benghazi ?
Any pending book releases ?
ROFLMBO....B is for buttocks
A few references in Revelation, depending upon one's interpretation. I hold to the early preterist perspective.
Rev 14:2: And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps:
I checked the Greek text and it has kithara which means lyre or lute. Kithara via Latin cithara is the source of the word guitar.
The kithara was triangular-shaped and had 7 strings.
