Resolution 1441 only says "Iraq must let inspectors have unrestricted access to everything," not "Let's go fight 'em!!!!"

The U.S. and the U.K. insisted that based on that resolution alone, an invasion was legitimized. Everyone else said that a second resolution needed to be passed to authorize a war, but France stated that it would veto anything that called for an immediate attack as opposed to another waiting period. Therefore the U.S. and the U.K. moved ahead anyway without a second resolution that would have brought everyone aboard.
Either way, all of the countries that were in favour of waiting for more inspections to avoid a war or were skeptical of the "evidence" ended up being correct.
