Не прикрывали, а участвовали. И далеко не на лидирующих позициях. Коалиция там большая была:

И основные воздушные операции проводили далеко не США. Та же Франция - French Air Force, which realizes 35% of NATO's strikes, is participating in the mission with 18 Mirage, 19 Rafale, 6 Mirage F1, 6 Super Etendard, 2E-2 Hawkeye, 2C-2 Greyhound, 3 Eurocopter Tiger, 16 Gazelle Aircraft. In addition, the French Navy anti-air destroyer Forbin and the frigate Jean Bart are participating in the operations.[103] On 22 March, the aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle was sent to be positioned in international waters near Crete to provide military planners with a rapid-response air combat capability.[104] Accompanying the Charles de Gaulle are the frigates Dupleix, Aconit, the fleet replenishment tanker Meuse, and one nuclear attack submarine SNA.[105] France is stationing three Mirage 2000-5 aircraft and 6 Mirage 2000D at Souda Bay, Crete.[106] France also sent an amphibious assault helicopter carrier, the Tonnerre, carrying 19 rotorcrafts to operate off the coast of Libya.
Канадцы рванули к берегам Ливии тоже довольно шустро (молодцы, нужно быть с союзниками) - CAN: The Royal Canadian Air Force has deployed seven (six front line, one reserve) CF-18 fighter jets, two CC-150 Polaris refuelling airplanes, two CC-177 Globemaster III heavy transports, two CC-130J Super Hercules tactical transports, and two CP-140 Aurora maritime patrol aircraft. The Royal Canadian Navy deployed the Halifax-class frigates HMCS Charlottetown and HMCS Vancouver. A total of 440 Canadian Forces personnel are participating in Operation Mobile. There are reports that special operations are being conducted by Joint Task Force 2 in association with Britain's Special Air Service (SAS) and Special Boat Service (SBS) as part of Canada's contribution.
Вон у канадцев даже специальное название было для этой операции - The official names for the interventions by the coalition members are Opération Harmattan by France; Operation Ellamy by the United Kingdom;
Operation Mobile for the Canadian participation and Operation Odyssey Dawn for the United States
И при этом зато вы стали сыпать выражениями "ронять какахи" и т.п. изящные обороты только в сторону американцев. Не могу в это поверить, но уж не biased ли вы часом по отношению к США?
