These are facts:
Boba is 10 years old. The order was placed 10 years ago.
Obi-Wan told Lama Su that Sifo-Dyas was killed ALMOST 10 years ago.
He then tells the Old Folks Home that Sifo-Dyas placed the order ALMOST 10 years ago...which is wrong, that's a fact.
Then he says he thought Sifo-Dyas was killed before that..."before what?!" The time the clones were ordered - which he's wrong about?
His REPORTING is wrong. The conversation between him and Lama Su makes more sense.
Obi-Wan had never seen the clones and had no idea how old they were.
Obi-Wan must've just had a lucky guess if he simply made up the time when Sifo-Dyas died. 'Cause if he chose OVER 10 years ago, then the Clone Wars would never have happened. He had to have been establishing fact about his death.
Anakin, Dooku is the only suspect and hence the answer I gave is the only answer. If you don't like it, then tough, you are stuck with it. Being remarkab;y pedantic over rough conversations of dates will not change that- all the dsates are meant to tell us is that this whole process started just after TPM. There is no other inconsistency there that cannot be solved by not being to-the-day literal about the ten year figure.
Establishing a timeline is essential if you are to determine whether it's even POSSIBLE for Sifo-Dyas to have ordered the army.
But alright, say Dooku DID do everything. Erased the files, ordered the clones under Sifo-Dyas' name...he did everything.
Shouldn't the clones be an issue...knowing they're the products of war planted to be conveniently ready when Dooku's OTHER army attacks?
They all know Dooku/Tyranus selected Jango as the template. Wouldn't the Jedi and the Senate then know Dooku set up this army for them? That Dooku acted as Sifo-Dyas? That the Sith are supplying both sides? Wouldn't that be a huge issue of concern? No one's addressed this.
The only issue of concern was: that they couldn't commission the army until the Seperatists' attack. Why is that?

I guess you're right. It's just stupid that teh whole issue was abandoned in the movie as if it's not that big a deal: a Sith Lord and a rogue Jedi infiltrating the Jedi without them knowing, making a huge order of clones and then just about about using them as well. It's rather major although it does once again stress how stupid. ignorant and blind the good guys are. With an opponent like that, no bad guy can go wrong.
For me it's the narrative plot holes that bother me.
(and sorry about the 20 years, my bad)

SS knows all. And you are correct.
