No, it didn't have to be Yoda who ordered the creation of the army. In
fact 
it can't have been him - because the person who handled the contacts
with 
the Cloners (can't remember what they were called) after their Jedi had 
died (very soon after Ep.I) and who recruited Jango Fett to serve as
their 
model was Darth Tyrannus, aka Count Dooku... who had been thrown out of
the 
Jedi Order years before, and who was Palpatine's Sith apprentice. This 
strongly suggests that it was Palpatine, not Yoda, who ordered the clone

army -.or at least suggested to the former, now deceased, head Jedi that

his race create the clone army for the Republic.

However, since the Cloners thought that it was the Jedi Order who had 
ordered the clone army - well, of course they wouldn't refuse one of the

Order's highest officials from taking the army with him!

So, well... it seems to me that Palpatine/Darth Sidious ordered
Dooku/Darth 
Tyrannus to start the "robot rebellion" so that Palpatine could get his 
special powers and then "accidentally discover" the Clone army and use
it 
to smash the rebels. That the Jedi happened to find the Clone army
somewhat 
prematurely didn't hurt - that only diverted the attention from
Palpatine :-/
