Where does it state that those were "special clones"; what special abilities do they have?
Episode II. Don't you remember that part where Obi Wan is talking to Lama Su?
Here's what I was referring to:
"Before initiating the gestation process, the Kaminoans tampered with Fett's DNA, selecting behavioral genes having to do with such qualities as loyalty, aggression, independence, and discipline. This resulted in soldiers that were more obedient, more resilient, and more reliable than unaltered ones would have been. Only a small batch of one hundred clones, which came to be the Advanced Recon Commandos, did not undergo these gene modifications."
Their abilities happen to be one of THE best military force seen in the Star Wars universe.
"Cloned and raised in the cities of Kamino, the clone troopers, trained and drilled since birth, came to be regarded as one of the most efficient military forces ever to have existed in galactic history. This was not only due to their training, but also to their unwavering loyalty to the Galactic Republic and its leader, Supreme Chancellor Palpatine."

Also, one of their abilities seems to be being able to take out Jedi....but later on this.

But to the point that RJ was making, if the Jedi always see something before it happens, they should have seen it, regardless of how "special" the clones were.
Wrong. I was alluding to the above point being wrong...but only wrong because that is the way it was written. RJ is right about his opinion on this. Observe:
"Throughout the Galaxy, the clones swiftly executed the Jedi, all of whom had grown to trust the clones with their lives; it was a fatal mistake for the entire Jedi Order. The very troops that they led to win the war after countless numbers of battles had betrayed them in cold blood without so much as a second thought. To the clones, Order 66 labeled every Jedi as a traitor to the Republic that had to be eliminated immediately. From the clones' perspective, they were merely carrying out a legal order; they felt no animosity or hatred against the Jedi as they leveled their weapons against their former commanders. This was the sole reason as to why the Jedi could not sense the clones' betrayal until it was too late. However, some commandos, such as Ion Team, who had been gifted with more individuality and morals than the average clone, refused to carry out the order, believing it to be illegitimate.[5]
Only after so many Jedi had died were some able to detect the treachery, such as in the case of Jedi Master Yoda[6]. Some Jedi, like Obi-Wan Kenobi, Roan Shryne and his friends, managed to escape through luck. Yet, it was too late. By the time Kenobi and Yoda returned to Coruscant, the once mighty Jedi Order had been nearly eradicated to the last Master, Knight, and Padawan. "
I agree that SOMEONE should have foreseen the eradication with their foresight. How the hell they missed it, I don't know. But like I said, you can write stuff like that into your story because it's fiction. dunno

It appears that the efficiency, aggression, intelligence, etc. of the clone troopers that they were specifically "designed for" coupled with a surprise attack against the Jedi Order made it more than possible for the extermination of the Jedi. My original assumption that they were designed to be able to take out Jedi is not entirely correct. They were specifically designed to be super soldiers and being able to take out Jedi is incidental to that. My apologies for getting my facts wrong.

Here we go again... [b]my point is that the precog doesn't always work to win a fight, not that it is completely useless as there are several instances (the Jedi blocking all the droid fire) shown besides the one you posted that prove it is indeed useful. [/B]
In this particular case, NJO Luke is the ultimate battle precog. Luke has faster fighting feats than Neo. Luke has better "impact" moments than Neo. (Much larger scale...Neo is on the City block level, Luke is on the planet and sometimes larger than planet level with his battles...yes, we are talking about that much of a difference.)

Try and pay attention before you make stupid claims and say shit like "doopeedoopeedooo".
It would probably make more sense in this "debate" if you spent the next 6 months of your life studying the EU. Read a dozen or two EU books, some encyclopedias, and even read articles on the website formerly known as "wookiepedia".
The "doopeedoo.." comment was just me being a douche again.
