Terminator 4: THE vc question

Terminator is for me a milestone movie. The kind of movie that change the way movies are made after. I still remember the terrific experience of the first 2 terminators by James Cameron, that changed for ever the way sci-fi movies would be made (like matrix did also a few years later).

I recently saw that movie and was pleasantly surprised. Timing and dramatic pressure is well orchestrated and effects are stunning. I also liked the actor that takes the terminator role. I think we ll see him a lot on screen. However i have a question i can't help thinking about

Who is the stupid VC that backed Skynet? [if you have not seen the movie you can't perceive the whole point of this question]
