a transcript of the statement provided by the US-based SITE.
"This war, which is the outcome of Bush belligerence and war-mongering mindset, has resulted in failure both in Afghanistan and Iraq," the Taliban said.
Obama, they said, "should respect the rights of the people to independence and observe the norms of human rights.
"In short, he should set out on a policy that will have a message of peace for the war-stricken world which has been victimized by the arrogance and tyranny of USA."
"The overwhelming victory of Barrack Obama ... reveals the collective willingness of American people not to continue the current despicable and anti-human wars in Afghanistan and Iraq."
from an India times newspaper:
NEW YORK: Taliban insurgents battling the US-backed Afghan government urged President-elect Barack Obama to change course in US foreign policy
and withdraw American troops from both Afghanistan and Iraq, an Internet monitoring service said Tuesday.
The message posted on a Web site used by the Taliban claimed Obama's victory "reveals the collective willingness of American people not to continue the current despicable and anti-human wars in Afghanistan and Iraq," SITE Intelligence Group said.
In Washington, the Obama transition team declined to comment. The Taliban message, the authenticity of which couldn't immediately be determined, said if the Democrats continued in the steps of Bush, "then it is clear that the fate of the Democrats will be even more shameful and despicable than the Republicans."
Three days after the election, two Iraqi insurgent groups posted separate Internet messages reported by SITE calling on Obama to withdraw troops from Iraq. Abu Omar al-Baghdadi, self-styled head of the al-Qaida front group Islamic State of Iraq, said "You do not interfere in the affairs of our countries. We, in turn, will not prevent commerce with you, whether it is in oil or otherwise."
