Nope.
To quote Saxton:
"It was an implication, and not a statement of fact. It was from Kenobi's uninformed point of view, not one of the Kaminoans."

So it's really wide open.
Why do so many people assume character infalibility? If someone thinks so, it must be true?

Dude, to be fair if there were two gorgeous naked women in front of me I wouldn't be paying attention to what they were holding either
Yes, but he's looking entirely the other direction...

Ah, OK, thanks for correcting me. Even so, I think it's pretty obvious that the troops we saw on Kamino are still just the beginning of the Republic's army.
Actually, according to Palpatine's speech, they're a new branch of the military like the Marine Corps if you will.

The Jango clones form the Republican Grand Army.

The conscripts, recruits, and merged ground security forces of the Republic's sectors form the Republican Army.

The Grand Army is equivalent to rapid strike/assault force kind of like paratroopers or Army Rangers. Also they help secure and defend extremely sensitive and vital targets from the Seperatists.

The low-level police and occupation and garrison and standard invasion grunt work is handled by the Army.

1.2 million individuals is lower than stupid for a Galactic force of any scale. 1.2 million individuals is small for an army to just take Geonosis. We're talking galactic scale here.

When people are dumb, and VERY stubborn on top of that, you just have to learn to ignore them... :)
