There are some very serious consequences from France / Germany / Russia's actions during this conflict. There is talk writing off Iraq's billions of dollars of debt to these countries because they are arguably "odicous debt", meaning that Saddam entered into these transactions without the consent of the Iraqi people - ergo, they should not be held liable for the money. I believe this was their main concern for behaving the way they did in the first place. I think there may be even more trouble from them in the future...
