Senator Saxby Chambliss is leading a congressional delegation from Georgia that's visiting Afghanistan and the senator says the U.S. must increase its troop strength there.

The delegation includes Republican Representatives Tom Price and Lynn Westmoreland, and Democratic Representative John Barrow.

On Thursday, the delegation had Thanksgiving dinner with troops from the 48th Infantry Brigade, which is part of the Georgia Army National Guard.

President Barack Obama is expected to announce a major increase in U.S. troops in Afghanistan next week.

Chambliss is a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee.

That means he'll have a say in sending additional troops to Afghanistan.
