UNITED NATIONS, May 8 (Reuters) - The United States is "outraged" by Myanmar's delays in allowing relief workers and aid shipments into the cyclone-devastated country, the U.S. envoy to the United Nations said on Thursday. "We're outraged by the slowness of the response of the government of Burma (Myanmar) to welcome and accept assistance," U.S. Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad told reporters. "It's clear that the government's ability to deal with the situation, which is catastrophic, is limited." (Reporting by Louis Charbonneau, editing by Frances Kerry)
