[Star Wars] Why didn't they clone a jedi instead of Jango Fett?

As stated above, why didn't they choose to clone a jedi when they were making the empires army, instead of cloning Jango Fett? I know that the ordering of the army was made on the DL but still?

>"Yes, and what are they without the Force? Take the greatest Jedi Knight, strip away the Force, and what remains? They rely on it, depend on it, more than they know. Watch as one tries to hold a blaster, as they try to hold a lightsaber, and you will see nothing more than a woman – or a man. A child."

The whole reason they were using clones was because it was the fastest way to raise an army, the clones grew so quickly that they could have a ton of soldiers in under a year. What they didn't have time for was to train thousands of Jedi- that would, in fact, be the opposite of what they need. Training in the force requires time, individual attention,  expanded awareness, and  introspection. None of these are things that anybody wants when they are trying to quickly put together an army. There is nothing special about Jedi other than the Force, so no reason to use a Jedi, they just needed someone as close to physical perfection as could be found.
