U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld on Monday played down the possibility of a quick decision to take the North Korea nuclear issue to the United Nations Security Council. "There's been no decision with respect to that at all," Rumsfeld told reporters on his first visit to Thailand, a U.S. ally. "The secretary of state (Condoleezza Rice) has spoken on it. I've spoken on it. The president (George W. Bush) has spoken on it. The government of the United States is on the path of six-party talks and that's where it is," he was quoted as saying by Reuters.
