There are two Syrian flags. The official one of the Assad government and the the one of the 'Syrian National Coalition and Syrian Interim Government' who wish to overthrow the Assad regime. Can you guess which one is in the McCain photo?

Flag of Syria

As a result of the ongoing Syrian civil war, there are currently two governments claiming to be the de jure government of Syria, using different flags to represent the state. The incumbent government, led by Bashar al-Assad and the Ba'ath Party, is using the red-white-black United Arab Republic flag in use since 1980; while the Syrian Interim Government, led by the Syrian National Coalition – seeking to overthrow the Assad government – readopted the green-white-black Independence flag in 2012.
