How did the Jedi fall for the 'clone army' trick?

So there's a powerful dark force interfering with their abilities. Then a convenient army, that they didn't commission or request, turns up to fight their battles for them. Hadn't these wise sages heard of the 'too good to be true' principle?

I understand that they may have been desperate enough to use the clone forces anyway, but they started acting like they trusted them implicitly; sending Jedi out alone with large units to act as commanders, etc etc.

The Jedi's powers were being suppressed for years before the Clone Army showed up. It wasn't step one block powers step two giant army. There was no reason to suspect the two were related like that in anyway. Furthermore, the Clone Army had been commissioned in secret by Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas, who was a widely respected member of the council and particularly gifted with precognition. In fact, Sifo-Dyas commissioned the Army *because* of the growing unease the Jedi had, and the cloud in the Force that was appearing. He didn't have time after that to explain himself to the other Jedi before he was betrayed and killed by Count Dooku, but it's likely that the Jedi found this in their investigation as to the creation of the Clone Army and Sifo-Dyas' death.

They still didn't trust the Clone Army at first, but they needed their help. The Republic had no army of its own, and here was one on a silver platter. So they took control of the army themselves and became the Jedi Generals once again to mitigate any potential issues. After three years of fighting literally alongside the Clones, the Jedi had absolutely no reason to believe the Clones would betray them like that. Many of the Jedi believed they had made friends with some of the Clones. Order 66 came completely  out of nowhere for the Jedi, and that's exactly how Palpatine wanted it to happen.
