Rising opposition to war, particularly in France, appears to have played a role in the hardening positions on the Security Council. Foreign officials are also aware of polls in the United States suggesting that support for a war drops dramatically if the Bush administration does not have U.N. approval.

That is the key. If they can make Bush look like the lone cowboy he seems to enjoy pretending he is, he's going to lose alot of support with the American public. There is already a lively anti-war movement as evidenced by the tens of thousands of people who showed up in SF, Washington and other big cities around the US last saturday. This will give it more momentum.
Bush might turn out to be a 1 termer yet. He's ridden the updraft of terror war approval ratings and maybe gotten a bit too close to the sun. Like Icarus, the wax on his wings is starting to melt and he's got no policy parachute.. no real achievements at all when you think about it.. to catch him when the warmongering fails to bump his ratings.
