They did not believe that Saddam had WMDs and they used that to not support the US going to war in Iraq. It was the US telling everybody that Saddam had WMDs and countries like France and Germany saying they didn't. So as a compromise they wnated the US to agree to letting the inspectors finish the job. But the US said no to everybody.

If you do not see the no vote from France, Germany, Russia and China as a dissuasion to go to war, then what do you consider as dissuasion?

Lead it loud and clear, these countries did dissuade the US since they believed Saddam did not have any WMDs. They were right. Bush and Cheney were not wrong. They too believed it but instead chose to lie.
