It is possible that the Cylons were commanded, as you say, to "Destroy the Colonial Fleet". And that would have been all they would have seen. Anything else would have been invisible to them.

Soooo... knowing this, is it possible the Galactica (being part the fleet) would have realized this... stayed hidden, and had the civilian fleet come to them?

good point ..... Adama does say in his dialogue "and the came etc etc .." it would have been the smart or a smart move on Adamas part ..
