You must have skipped Floodgate...
What does Floodgate have to do with anything? Sure, the Sanghelli fleet glasses the area and destroys the Cruiser.
That same fleet goes to the Ark.
Then High Charity goes through the Portal, but drops no force on Earth.
And for the first reply, one single flood spore can destroy a species.
Comparatively, he wouldn't not have to drop a very large force at all, humanity lacked defense against the Flood, most of the Elite forces were fighting on the Ark.
I mean really? Why not? A few of those flying thingy's landed on the Ark, why not a few on Earth?
There were billions of Flood forms present on High Charity.
One single landing craft could have taken the Earth, the UNSC, what was left on Earth, could have done nothing about it.
You are taking things too literally, Rtas was exaggerating about it. And it is ridiculous to think the Elites would have left Earth unprotected, they wanted to avoid another Flood outbreak after all (something that was painfully clear when they immediately glassed the surrounding area of that infected Cruiser). You gotta remember the Elites had High Charity surrounded in a quarantine zone and I very much doubt that all the ships they had were the ones present at the Ark (High Charity's defense fleet consisted of hundreds of ships after all) and while the Brutes held a considerable amount of ships, Elites were always better at naval engagements.
Rtas was referring to a spore that gets away I believe. If a Flood spore is allowed to infect, it will simply snowball and consume the planet.
OT: Hood had Africa locked down, he wasn't going to let Gravemind take earth with only a few drop pods.
