Now with all the bombings and cruise missils targeting Gaddafi, it seems like the humaintarian thing went out the window. There is bound to be collateral damage (dead civilians).

The bombings are about stripping away Libya's anti air defenses, most of the cruise missile attacks are either taking out radar installations missile sites and aircraft and aircraft support points.
The bunker that was bombed in Gaddafi's compound was a air defense command and control center. With the accuracy of bombs and cruise missiles if they wanted to take Ghadaffi out his personal bunker would be a personal crater.
Remember that the other mandate was the protection of civillians lives, which means air strikes against vehicle convoys, supply dumps and troop gatherings.
There is nothing that is happening that goes against the UN Mandate so far.
