You can not get the egg before the chicken.
The only way his comments work is if the entire timeline is a closed loop cycle with a separate force or control that has already predetermined all events no matter what point on the timeline you exist. That would mean there is no such thing as free will and makes all the actions in the movie pointless.

Biggest problem with multiple timelines / universes idea is this; In the future, SkyNet would have known that sending the machine back in time to kill Sarah Conner would not effect change on it's current predicament. SkyNet would have understood that killing Sarah Conner in the past would not kill John Conner in the present according to the multiple timeline theory -- and a machine as powerful as SkyNet (which could invent a time machine) would certainly understand that the fact that if it was defeated by humans in the present, it would means that it could not change that fact by attempting to change the past.
