France and Germany were blocking further diplomatic efforts re: UN authorization and support of international force (the "make 'em show their cards" vote that Chimp skipped out on). Was this because Chimp bungled diplomacy? Yes. Irrelevent. Due to Chimp's bungling, "we" were effectively at a diplomatic impasse.
Note that the subsection heading is "Presidential Determination" and not "Congressional Determination." This gave the power to determine the state of negotiations with the UN to the President and not Congress. Another example of Congress abdicating it's duty in favor of giving Chimp a blank check.
(You might as well "Alert" this post, too. God forbid that I point out the facts.)
