Your one stop shop for all of 343's fabulous errors and ridiculous notions in the Halo lore.

This is mainly on glassed worlds not on world that are newly found and can be easily made habitable. Remember it says 'recolonization' not colonization. This is still to vague to understand and there are many answers to it.
I said both "on glassed worlds" and "recolonization". So I think we are in agreement here.
This happened during the end of the war although this could have been undertaken before hand remember odst.
This particular mission is AFTER the war. And if we're desperate enough to potentially get into a conflict with the Elites over som3 Engineers, we must be hurting for some scientific edge.
There could also be a secret manufacturing base set up by oni somewhere else in a last case resort.
If so, then that base wasn't pushing out ships, ammo, and weapons fast enough. Our fleet was decimated at Reach and at Earth. If ONI had such a base, we didn't get much from it. I'm not denying they have such bases, but something you imagine doesn't have much evidence going for it.
Remember from the "impossible life of j preston cold" he had an idea that there needed to be a plan in case earth was attacked. He also expected oni to have taken this into account. Maybe they had build a base way out of known space with few people in need to know basis. Also remember the innies that joined the battle with Preston Cole what if they had already colonized some new planets and were now building new manufacturing plants. They are still unaccounted for.
Yes, and the plan Cole had in mind was The Cole Protocol. The Halo wiki, though I may not always agree with it, has a pretty good list of what it entails.
It says military is now at its weakest since the dawn of slipspace not technologically we are that far back.
I don't think we need to argue about how messed up humanity as a whole is. The Outer Colonies are gone, there goes a major manufacturing and agricultural base. The Covenant bypassed some Inner Colonies, but humanity had relied on the Outer Colonies AND Inner Colonies for a long time, the Inner Colonies may make things a bit easier, but it's still a farcry from the past.
Besides, Earth itself was hit pretty hard. Cuba, New Mombasa, Kenya, Antarctica, and Cleveland, Ohio were just some of the places hit. Heck, they even hit Mars.
Remember that covenant forces mainly were concentrated around new mombasa not anywhere else although there were covie forces there.
They also had sizable forces in both Cleveland and Cuba.
Also many sites may have been left untouched and undamaged mainly there could be manufacturing plants on earth still working.
I'm sure some sites remain, but the Covenant didn't just stick to Africa, it was a pretty global deal.
Military wise they were weak as they had no ship and their military was as weak as it was since then. Also people are scattered as in around the universe bringing them back will be hard but still look at it this way earth still has at least 200 million residents living and these will move back into reconstruction. They will build and capitalism wont really exist.
So what your saying is that our military is weak, we still have a lot of people still scattered and out population has been reduced considerably? Add that with a weakened infrastructure and you have hard times.
What is said here actually is the sanghelli have promised nothing. Meaning it is not definitive that they will support them in any way. Remember how sanghelli are very strict with their beliefs and moral. This was what promised meant they could not guarantee anything as they still had to fix everything they could. Still this leave the possibility that they could help any way they could.
The Elites don't have the means to fix anything. The Prophets held h e knowledge of building and adapting Forerunner technology, since they are gone the Elites have no manufacturing facilities and are watching their own ships decay with no way to repair them.
Not true as rebel are not really in existance. Many rebels joined the unsc to fight the covenant and many stayed it is absolutely stupid for them to attack an already fragile humanity. Also Preston Cole may have thought of the idea of earth falling so he may have ordered his ship to leave with the inseructionist and thus they started a new colony to save humanity if anything happened to earth. This was a necessary task. Also he couldnt tell anyone for if any record existed they could be tracked down.
You are completely wrong about the rebels not being a threat. Master Chief and Blue Team had to steal nukes from a rebel group during the war. Not only that, but after the events of Halo, Chief and some survivors from the Halo event and Reach traveled to a rebel hideout in an asteroid belt to get their ship repaired. Spartan-IIIs were also deployed to take out insurrectionists uprisings, Noble Six was notable for making rebel groups disappear.
The Cole thing you bring up is a possibility, but according to the story about him, it's also likely he may fight against us or just not care.

Next time, would you mind breaking your giant paragraph into several smaller ones? It's annoying to see a giant wall of text. And the picture at the end of Reach shows a ship landing a few small buildings, hardly a complete recolonization. The rest was so jumbled up, I didn't bother.
In the end everything i said is speculation and a counter argument which mainly leaves us at point zero.
I don't exactly agree, but I do see some of your points.
