We also know that Sarah Connor dies of Lukemia. Soooo she could go toe to toe with a nuclear missile, killer bees, and the entire packistani army and we know she dies in a bed, alone.

That's my problem.
I don't think we need to make a point about timelines getting messed up. If you want to point out those kind of problems, look no further than Michael Biehn (Kyle Reese? Been a while since I saw T1.) being sent back in time by John to become John's father. The arm/cpu from the first terminator being an important influence in the development of Skynet is another example. After all, the main plot of all the films is to go into the past to change the future. If there is such a thing as an action film with morale, the Terminator morale is that we shape our own future.
