From the very article you link:"The US diplomat at the council in Geneva, Douglas Griffiths, criticised the Goldstone report for an "unbalanced focus on Israel, the overly broad scope of its recommendations and its sweeping conclusions in law". However, he also said Washington had wanted more time before the vote to allow the two sides to conduct their own investigations into war crimes allegations. That suggests the US may yet put pressure on Israel to hold a credible inquiry."
