Hi. It would be comprehensible if Obama and Biden unwillingly accepted these requests, but they did not:
"The White House did not authorize drone strikes against the Afghan Taliban inside Pakistan, other than select strikes against the Haqqani network. Obama and Biden deigned military requests for strikes on the Afghan Taliban in Pakistan as irresponsible attempts to expand the war." So, what does the word "deigned" mean here?
