What? He was honest with himself, about it, lying isn't actually classified as hypocrisy last time I looked so long as you don't contradict yourself. Did he want to kill her? No, and he was honest with himself on that. Did he need to kill her? Yes, and he was honest with himself about that as well. Did he believe he needed to make the most out of the disastrous situation and use Euphie? Yes he did. Where's the contradiction? Lelouch doesn't bother deluding himself, that's why he shouldn't be classified as a hypocrite. Another point to note is that he detracted as far as he could in the speech to associate what happened to Britannia as a whole instead of just Euphie.
