FOXHOUND had to keep up the pretence that they knew how to launch the nuke, if they weren't actively trying to stop Snake from "disarming" it then there's a chance that the people giving Snake orders might have suspected something.
Decoy Octopus posed as the DARPA Chief because he was trying to get information from Snake. If you watch the scene back you'll notice he asks a lot of leading questions about the nuclear launch and whether the government intend to give in to their demands. Most importantly he tells Snake that he (DARPA Chief) had his mind read by Psycho Mantis. This is important as for the launch to be possible he needs both DARPA and Baker's information, so for Snake to think it needs disarming he has to think he's revealed information.
thank you. but two points i do not get even though you explained really good and in depth:
do you think they didn't really try to kill snake? foxhound i mean...?
and the point i'm trying to make about the second question is why in the world they need snake to do it? to start the launching of metal gear rex? after all they have baker, who they already "convinced" to tell them his own code (which wasn't really helping anyone no more, since anderson already died before he gave them his own code.) so if you think about it, why couldn't they just force baker to tell them how the PAL card key works, the secret behind the card...? that way they could do it themselves it's much easier to do this this way! don't you think?
thanks a lot again
