On Al Jazeera they repeatedly called his speech "in large parts incomprehensible". The only thing we can hope for now is for him and the remnants of his regime getting toppled quickly before the death toll rises even more. I think Gaddafi is off playing with the fairies.

He also sounded not quite all there. Very rambling and contradictory. They are getting short of food and other commodities in some areas. You are right, one hopes that the house of cards falls quickly. Otherwise, the humanitarian crisis will become acute. There is obviously a split within the regime itself. I take this as a good sign.
