A year after the federal bailout of Chrysler and General Motors, President Obama declared the U.S. auto industry is "making a comeback," noting domestic automakers have added 55 thousand jobs since last June. Speaking at a Chrysler assembly plant in Detroit this afternoon, the president said the federal bailout of the two automakers saved a million jobs, and noted the domestic auto industry is operating at a profit for the first time in several years. National Incident Commander Thad Allen says the procedure to permanently seal the well head responsible for the Gulf oil disaster with drilling mud and cement will commence on Tuesday, more than two weeks after the new containment cap stopped the flow of oil. In addition, Allen said a relief well which will serve as a more permanent plug for the ruptured well, should be finished later in August. A spokesman for the Taliban told a British television interview that the militant Islamist group is poring over 91 thousand previously classified Defense Department documents leaked to the news media this week regarding the Afghan military operation, in an effort to determine whether they identify any U.S. spies. Also, the death toll in July of U.S. military personnel in Afghanistan stands at 63, the highest monthly number of casualties since the operation commenced nearly nine years ago. On Wall Street, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell one point to 10465. The Nasdaq composite index rose three points to 2254. The broader S&P 500 Index finished .07 higher at 1101. |
