The war will never be over. At least not as long as the Pentagon gets its way. When Bush declared the "War on Terrorism", he was essentially stating Washington's intentions on pursuing perpetual war with constantly shifting enemies, not unlike the kind Orwell described. Everybody knows that victory will never be declared in the "War on Terrorism", since terrorism is a military tactic and not an objective target for defeating, especially when terrorism itself (remember, war is just a form of mass terrorism) is the main means of defeating it. All the government has to do is accuse his enemies of being terrorists or associating with terrorists or looking like terrorists (remember the accusations of Saddam being in cahoots with Al-Qaeda?) and a new enemy in the war is instantly created. When they see some potential advantage in taking over another country, they will accuse that one of terrorism and declare war on it. This process will continue indefinitely until it is forced to end.
