One thought to the whole "why liquid keeps trying to kill solid" thing. Well, Liquid always wanted to tear down the patriots, just like BB did in Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2. Even Liquid Ocelot did. The only thing that always got in the way were we, or rather Solid Snake. To observe strictly we almost always played the bad guy. Solid Snake actually had no idea about their real intentions.

At the end of MGS4 Ocelot (yes, I keep accepting him more as Ocelot than Liquid) attempts to destroy JD by launching a Nuke at it. But as he realized that Solid is about to kill off JD himself by insalling the virus he gave Solid his head.

So, like I said, Snake had no idea about Liquid's, Ocelot's and BB's real intentions. But they knew that Snake has no idea. The actual question should be, why they never told him. And the answer is: Because we wouldn't have cool stories and games to play through. ;-)
