As you'll see in my RPG post, I think John Henry let his brother talk him out of things, but either way, I don't think that Weaver meant that John Henry was the savior of mankind, so much as she meant two things:
1) If John Connor wants the assistance of the Machine Resistance, those people he asked to help him on the submarine, then he needs to cooperate with Weaver's new plan. The reason she said no the first time is the humans on that submarine were stupid fucking idiots, and she wanted to free her people her own way. So now if he wants their assistance, he needs to use John Henry and Weaver's plan.
2) If they intend to stop SkyNET prior to Judgement Day, then they must alter the code itself. As things stand now, the "brother" has no compassion, possibly because humans keep trying to kill him. If John Henry's code could overwrite OR combine with SkyNET's code, then both humans AND machines can be free.
As far as I am concerned, that is Weaver's motivation and the reason for John Henry's entire existence.
