After all the sacrifices made by alliance troops in WW2 (I know it was 50 odd years ago) But you would expect some sort of gratitude from the frogs (French). Maybe not just a knife in the back instead.
I think that is very shortsighted thinking. Just because the French disagreed with America and were vocal about their opposition to the war, now many Americans complain about them being ungrateful for the sacrifices made by American servicemen and women during WWII. So by that thinking are they meant to be subservient to the US's wishes for all eternity? A true friend will tell their friend what their opinion is on important issues. Even if they have different views. And besides which, if you want to follow that logic didn't the French fight for the US against the British (Bush's No. 1 buddy of the moment) way back in the beginning?

I have a hard time beliving with all the money that the US of A invests into intelligence and the technology that we posses today that we have yet to be able to kill Osama bin Laden or Saddam. Kinda makes me wonder if we are really trying.......

I don't know. I am sure there are many many people within the US security and intelligence apparatus that are trying very hard. But reports of the Saudi charted jet flying around the US in the week after Sep 11 collecting the Bin Laden family add to peoples reservations (conspiracy theory banks etc) about how hard they're trying. I sure would like to see those FBI files on the Kennedy assassination...
