A Democratic leadership source told CNN some two months ago that Democratic leaders knew they would have to send the president a war funding bill without a timeline, and that would likely mean a bill with significant Democratic defections and GOP support.
The maneuvering over the past several weeks has been a Democratic attempt to show their anti-war base that party leaders were trying until the 11th hour to stand up to the president, the source said.

The two women are friends, and Jolie said she felt a responsibility to get the depiction right.
Jolie, who has visited Pakistan three times as a United Nations goodwill ambassador, said she hopes to return to do more humanitarian work.
"I have a deep love for that part of the world, and I'm saddened to see that every day it seems to be breaking more and more apart," she told a small group of reporters Tuesday at a cabana overlooking the Mediterranean near Cannes.
Jolie said "A Mighty Heart," which was shot in India and Pakistan, had made her "even more determined to go to those areas and spend time with those people and look for great relationships across the world and look for different truths and try to understand deeper."

Warner said the measure would send the message to Iraq that "we're not there forever," and that the government of Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki must "pull your own weight and do your responsible job."
Reconstruction funds could be cut if the Iraqi government fails to meet the U.S. benchmarks, but the president could waive those penalties if he feels it necessary.
A bill written by Warner that included benchmarks tied to economic aid to Iraq received 52 votes last week. The vote was more than a majority but less than the 60 needed to advance under the rules in effect.
Democrats have said they wanted to get Bush a bill that he could sign by the Memorial Day weekend. The vote in the House of Representatives could come as late as Friday, the day the weekend starts.
Bush vetoed a bill last month that included a timetable for withdrawing troops. On Friday, both White House officials and lawmakers left negotiations saying they were "disappointed" that they couldn't agree on a compromise.

"We're going to continue our battle -- and that's what it is -- to represent the American people like they want us to represent them, to change the course of the war in Iraq," Reid said.
Republican senators, who had objected to timelines and deadlines, sounded optimistic that a compromise would be reached.
"Hopefully, we will get through this process before Memorial Day," said Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Kentucky. "I know that's been the desire certainly of the majority leader, to finish the bill, to get the bill to the president for signature without a 'surrender date.' I think that is the direction in which we are headed."
McConnell said Republicans have been "led to believe" that the language on benchmarks will be taken from an amendment backed by Republican Sen. John Warner of Virginia, the influential former chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee.
The proposal would require the Bush administration to send progress reports to Congress in July and September, and make changes to U.S. strategy if the Iraqis have made no progress in reaching a political settlement.
