The resolution didn't pass simply because of a few countries with veto power, as I understand it, please correct me if I'm wrong

It didn't pass because they didn't have the numbers, so it didn't get voted on. France threatened to veto it, but if the US had the numbers then forcing France to use their veto would have been useful because it would show that France was in the minority.
Also Tony Blair didn't want to have it voted on and lose, because it wouldn't have gone down well with the British public
